Description:
This beautiful 28+ acre farm is surrounded by gentle rolling fields and gorgeous mountain views. Custom built in 2000, the 2500 square foot, all brick, home has 3 bedrooms each with walk in closets (2 in master, his and hers), 3 full baths, a large great room with double tray ceiling, a den, a separate dining room, an eat in kitchen, laundry room and 2 car garage. It is in excellent condition. The center aisle barn (36'x60' with 10' overhangs on each long side) is currently set up as 4 stalls (2 are over sized) and has room to add 2-3 more. There is a large, enclosed, tack room and an area suitable to be finished as an indoor wash rack. There is a brand new, all weather footing, large turnout paddock adjacent to the barn.
The house and barn sit on top of a gentle hill at the end of a paved, 2000 ' private drive hidden from view by 3 +/- acres of woods. The rest of the acreage consists of two 6+/- acre pastures (recently fenced with top quality, horse safe, diamond mesh /Centaur combination and 4 board black fencing near the house) and approximately 10-12 acres of hayfield (fenced with hi tensile wire) which is currently baled by a neighbor on shares. It could be used as an additional pasture, if desired. There is a large fenced back yard (4 board black fence lined with field fencing) to contain dogs or children safely. The farm, while ideal for horses, could also be used for alpacas, goats, cattle or other livestock.
Winchester is located in SE Middle TN, 1 hour drive from Huntsville and Chattanooga, 1 1/2 hour from Nashville and about 50 minutes from Shelbyville or Fayetteville. There are riding trails from the property to Circle E Guest Ranch in Keith Springs and there is plenty of boating, fishing and golf at nearby Tims Ford Lake.
This property appraised at 375K in 2010 when we purchased it and we have added 50K in fencing, paddocks, home and barn improvements to make it our dream retirement farm. Unfortunately, serious family problems require that we return to FL so we reluctantly offer it for sale and hope it will be a dream farm for someone else.
